Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews for buildings managed by Yelena Sverdlova reveal a mixed picture. Positive comments highlight courteous doormen, friendly staff, respectful neighbors, and generally clean buildings in good locations. However, significant issues include slow or unresponsive management, pest infestations, outdated and noisy heating and AC units, and unresolved maintenance problems such as rusty water pipes and poor garbage management. Some tenants report hostile superintendent behavior and lack of effective communication between management and residents. Noise levels and neighborhood disturbances are concerns in certain buildings. While a few buildings receive approval and recommendation, overall management appears inconsistent, with notable room for improvement in responsiveness and building upkeep.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Not up to par for a doorman building

Pros

The doormen were courteous people.

Cons

My tap water was brown for the entire term of my lease. When running the water, it would come out brown from the kitchen sink about 25% of the time, making it unfit to drink. I submitted complaints to 311. They responded to the complaints that they flushed the main fire hydrants nearby, but the problem persisted. I assume it has more to do with old and rusty water pipes. The building has a clothes moths problem. They live in the air ducts and were resident to my unit. This problem was not fixed, addressed, or taken seriously by the landlord or management. I also complained about my extremely old AC/heater unit, which made very loud and disruptive sounds, keeping me awake at night. This was not addressed by management. Overall, it's also a loud area to live in, especially if you face 3rd avenue. I found that I was sleeping with ear plugs in most of the time considering the traffic noise and heater problems.
